A node.js script to handle breaking image maps into tile-based images for use in mapping applications.

Installation

Usage

Usage: /usr/local/bin/node mapchop [options]

Options:
   -i, --input      Specify original image to cut
   -t, --tileSize   Tile size in pixels  [default: 256]
   -o, --tileDir    Directory to save tiles in [default: {currentDirectory}/tiles]
